We’ve come to the end of Week 3 of the kitchen and landscaping redos. The kitchen now looks like a room again — rough electrical and plumbing, as well as drywall are complete. (Next up, I think, is sanding the floors and then cabinet installation.)
Underneath the drywall, we left a little time capsule for the next family to take on a kitchen remodel — a letter and a space shuttle toy since this is the last year of the space shuttle.
The giant hole for the new window is patched along with the holes left after the two old electrical boxes were removed.
As for the landscaping, they’ve placed the boulders for the rock “wall” in the front (to be filled in with plants).
They finished lining one of the pathways with smaller rocks. It’ll be filled in with decomposed granite.
And they started digging the trench for the dry stream bed which will capture rain water for irrigation.
In the back, they finished digging out all the old weedy grass and preparing for new grass and pathways.
OMG it is going to be beautiful. Are you still pinching yourself. Hard work, but you sure deserve it. I can’t wait to see the finished project. We never finished talking about paint color and what you decided on. What range? Happy New Year to the Moisions and to the new Maison, Finca, Villa Magnifique. This is going to be a great year, I just know it. Thanks for posting all the pictures.
